Summary
Now that you’ve explored the differences between points in Land Desktop
and Civil 3D, let’s review how Civil 3D can provide you with a better solution
for working with points.
Civil 3D Solution Land Desktop Limitation
In Civil 3D, the symbol is part of the point
itself. Have you ever moved some points only to
realize your symbols didn’t move with
them?
Civil 3D does not rely on an external point
database, so you can use the Undo com-
mand during point operations. Have you ever wished you could use the
Undo command after accidentally moving
or erasing some points?
Because Civil 3D points are dynamic, they
will automatically adjust their size by
simply changing the drawing scale. Have you ever wished there was a fast way
to change your point sizes so they could
be used in a 50 scale drawing rather than
a 100 scale drawing?
Civil 3D point groups can be created from
other point groups. Have you ever wanted to create a point
group by combining several other point
groups?
Civil 3D uses templates with built-in styles
to guarantee standards compliance. Have you ever found it difficult to maintain
your organization’s CAD standards so that
points labeled by one person look the same
as points labeled by another person?
Surfaces
When you work with surfaces in Civil 3D, you will notice many differences
from Land Desktop right away. What is important to understand is that all
of the same functionality you had with surfaces in Land Desktop still exists
in Civil 3D. The functionality is just simplified, and in some cases, uses a
different methodology to accomplish the same result. The following section
provides a brief description of how surfaces work in Land Desktop.
